This book had me on the edge of my seat! It kept me awake longer than I should have allowed but you just don’t want to stop reading.
This story is told with two points of view. Meg is a con artist and Kat is a reporter trying to find out the back story.
This is my first time reading a book by Julie Clark, but it won’t be my last!! I’m looking forward to more books in the series. . Many thanks to the author for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Julie Clark's last book "The Last Flight" was my most recommended book of last year and The Lies I Tell is equally fantastic. Full of twists and turns, it kept me reading long after I was supposed to stop!

Ugh, Meg is a bomb character! Who knew I could like a con artist so much? But team Meg all the way.

Oh my goodness, I loved this twisty book and unreliable narrator’s? The best.

I flew through this book and I think Julie Clark told a fascinating story that definitely kept me hooked the whole entire time.

A great twisty story that flows and intertwines so well!

Told from two perspectives and flashing back and forth between the past and the present. Kat is a news reporter and Meg is whoever she decides to be.

Female con artist targeting corrupt men who abuse their power or what they have. I couldn't put this one down, it was fast paced and I enjoyed every second of it!

⁃ plots about con artists
⁃ Revenge stories
⁃ Cat and mouse chase

"The Lies I Tell" by Julie Clark is a gripping thriller that weaves a complex web of deception and suspense. The story follows a woman living a double life, forced to make choices that lead to dire consequences. Clark masterfully delves into themes of identity, trust, and the consequences of one's actions. With its skillful pacing and unexpected twists, the novel keeps readers on the edge of their seats, questioning the truth until the very last page.

I really enjoyed Clark’s The Last Flight, so I was looking forward to her new thriller. Clark did not disappoint. I never imagined I’d be cheering for the bad guy, but you can’t help wanting Meg to win. A definite 4⭐️ read for me.

A thoroughly enjoyable read. Sometimes thrillers can be predictable, but this one had some surprises. I really like this author and I plan to read more of her novels.

If anyone were to ever ask me to name an author who is completely underrated, I would say "Julie Clark." Clark has another winner on her hands with her new novel, The Lies I Tell. After loving Clark's suspense debut, The Last Flight, I didn't have to think twice before picking up The Lies I Tell.

The Lies I Tell is one of those books that you cannot give too much background on without giving the secrets away, but it can be said that this is a low-key cat and mouse novel about an accomplished con artist and the journalist threatening to expose her.

The Lies I Tell is an engrossing, multi-layered read that keeps surprising you the deeper you dig into it. Just who is playing who in this finely crafted tale of jaw-dropping suspense? Pull out your magnifying glass and prepare to examine everyone's motives carefully, because as far as I can tell, no one here can be trusted! A fun, yet darkly ominous book that is definitely a page-turner!

For fans of The Last Thing He Told Me.

Thank you SourceBooks Landmark ​and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book.
Giving this book a well-deserved 5-star rating! It proved to be a captivating and fantastic read. The presence of strong female characters, an engaging storyline, and numerous surprising twists left me thoroughly enthralled. My only minor regret is that it could have been longer, as I found myself fully immersed and hungry for more! Nevertheless, I must admit that the ending was simply perfection, leaving me utterly satisfied with a *chef's kiss* of approval.

Loved this one! The story was great, the characters were captivating, and I couldn't put it down! I would have liked a little faster pace as the story got going, but overall, a super great book!

This book was definitely slow to start but I appreciated that as it went on. I liked seeing the motivations for everything. For me, there were no "big twists", however I did not expect to like Meg's story as much as I did. The author did a good job with creating empathy for all sides in the story.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me advance access to this title. I really enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading more from this author. As a reader, I am really motivated by character driven stories and I found myself quickly becoming immersed in these characters’ lives. Full review to come.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

I read and loved The Last Flight by Julie Clark so when I saw The Lies I Tell, I KNEW i had to get it,

What I liked:

Ya’ll this cover is insanely great!

Kat and Meg. You know, I know I was supposed to dislike one of them. Or maybe even both of them. Because they were both doing “wrong”. But darn it! I loved both these characters to pieces. I wouldn’t trust them with my life, but man, they were entertaining.

The ending. YASSSSS.



Bottom line: Get thee to a bookstore or your library and get this book. You won’t be sorry.

VIDEO REVIEW OF THIS BOOK CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://youtu.be/1wjGGr9SZKY?t=727

This book is about two women, one of them is like a shapeshifter she has changed her name many times depending on where she lives, she has always a different job, new job, new people, new connections and then there's this reporter who has been trying to catch her for many, many years because she did something that changed her life.
So they end up meeting again.
One of them is now a real estate agent the other one still a reporter and they are trying to interact with each other, when no one is really telling the whole truth because one is someone that keeps on changing her story and who she is and the other one is trying to discover more about this person.
So their interactions are weird and the book keeps on changing from one point of view to the other.
I really like this book, I have to say this. I want to read more books by Julie Clark.
I think that even though i usually read like thrillers or mysteries or things like that, I've never read something like this, something with lie two main characters, two women and this kind of personalities that maybe are assigned more to men in books or stories.
It's a really good book, I think that the ending, it's not only the ending but the things you start to realize as you are reading them, they shock you. You don't expect them, it's good, it's really, really good, I really liked this one and I highly, highly recommend it.

Thank you for the copy of this book.
It was a twisted adventure. Kept me guessing and feeling for the characters the whole book.

I recently finished reading "The Last Flight" by Julie Clark and I must say, it was a great read. Having never read any of her books before, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

The story is told from two perspectives - those of two strong women, Kat and Meg. Kat is a journalist who is determined to expose Meg for what she believes to be her true identity as a con artist. Meg, on the other hand, is hiding something and has her own reasons for returning. She has someone she wants to expose too.

The plot is complex and well-developed, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. It's not your typical thriller, which makes it all the more interesting. Instead, it's a slow-burn type of story that is deeply satisfying.

The characters are well-crafted and their motivations are clear. I found myself rooting for both women at different points in the story, which is a testament to the author's ability to create relatable and compelling characters.

Overall, "The Last Flight" is a great book that will keep you engaged from start to finish. If you're a fan of thrillers, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It's a well-written, character-driven story that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Loved this book! Did not expect to like this better than the last flight but I did! The perfect twisty thriller that kept me on the edge of my feet! Totally recommend this to all other thriller lovers.

The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark
Published June 21, 2022 by Sourcebooks Landmark

This was my first Julie Clark novel, and I'm sure it won't be my last. This twisty domestic thriller told the story of two women, one of whom had a long history as a con woman and the other who was seeking revenge on the woman who she believes upended her life. But things are never as simple as they seem. Sometimes the cross turns into the double cross. And sometimes what looks like justice is actually revenge. This book was very cleverly plotted with short chapters, alternating viewpoints and split timelines. I thought it was hot read that kept me flipping pages and guessing about these women right up until the very end. If you're looking for a compulsively readable summer thriller that you won't be able to put down, add this one to your list!
